Plunge in a splash pool

Summer is all about getting wet and cool. And there’s no better way to do it than having a splash in a pool. This should be a lot of fun not only for kids but for all ages. You can have 7 feet wide by 13 feet long. But you may have your pool at your desired dimension. Paint it with blue so it will add to the reflection of the sky.
